Providing direct stimulus payments is not a novel idea. The last president to do so was former President George W. Bush, who mailed out checks during the recessions of 2001 and 2008 to mitigate economic pain.
"We don't want people losing their jobs or not having money to live, when they were doing very well just four weeks ago," Trump said at a press conference Tuesday."So we're going big, and that's the way it'll be."While the President had been pushing a payroll tax cut, he's now come around to the idea of sending checks to Americans as part of a massive economic stabilization package.
Mitt Romney of Utah unveiled a $1,000 payment proposal on Monday, while Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute tweeted that the administration is"absolutely right to get people cash --- and to get it to them in the next week, if possible."Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, now a CNN political commentator, made $1,000 monthly basic income payments a central part of his campaign, which ended last month.
